Baking and Roasting

A. Broil heat B. Bake heat

ACCUBAKE® Temperature Management System

(on some models) The ACCUBAKE® system electronically regulates the oven heat

levels during preheat and bake to maintain a precise temperature range for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil elements cycle on and off in intervals. This feature is automatically activated when the oven is in use.

The bake element is hidden under the floor of the oven, separated from spills and drips

If the oven door is opened during baking or roasting, the broil elements will turn off immediately and the bake element will turn off in 2 minutes. They will come back on once the door is closed.

To Bake or Roast:

Before baking or roasting, position racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food in, unless recommended in the recipe.

1. On double ovens only, press UPPER OVEN or LOWER OVEN.

The cavity symbol will flash indicating which oven was chosen. The left cavity symbol is the upper oven; the right cavity symbol is the lower oven.

2. Press BAKE.

Press the number pads to enter a temperature other than 350°F (180°C). The bake range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (75°C and 260°C).

3. Press START.

“Lo” will appear on the oven display if the actual oven temperature is under 170°F (75°C).

When the set temperature is reached, if on, 1 tone will sound.

4. Press OFF/CANCEL for the respective oven when finished

cooking.

Maxi and Econo Broiling

A. Broil heat

Broiling uses direct radiant heat from the broil element to cook food.

During maxi broiling, both the inner and outer broil elements heat. During econo broiling, only the inner broil elemnt heats. The element(s) cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature.

If the oven door is opened during broiling, the broil element(s) will turn off immediately and come back on once the door is closed.

■ For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. They are

designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke. If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be

ordered. See “Assistance or Service” section to order. Ask for Part Number 4396923.

■ For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The

bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier cleaning.

■ Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on

the edges to avoid curling.

■ Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing

food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.

■ After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing

the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated oven, making cleaning more difficult.

To Broil:

Before broiling, position rack according to the Broiling Chart. When broiling, changing the temperature allows more precise

control. The lower the temperature, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower broiling temperatures.

Position food on the grid on the broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack with the longest side parallel to the door.

It is not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food in, unless recommended in the recipe.

Close the door.

1. On double ovens only, press UPPER OVEN or LOWER OVEN.

The cavity symbol will flash indicating which oven was chosen. The left cavity symbol is the upper oven, the right cavity symbol is the lower oven.

2. Press BROIL.

Once for maxi, twice for econo. Press the number pads to enter a temperature other than

500°F (260°C). The broil range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (77°C and 260°C).

3. Press START.

The set oven temperature will appear on the oven display until the oven is turned off.

4. Press OFF/CANCEL for the respective oven when finished

cooking.

BROILING CHART

For best results, place food 3" (7 cm) or more from the broil elements, rack position 4 is recommended. For diagram, see the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.

A temperature of 500°F (260°C) is recommended. Times are guidelines only and may need to be adjusted for

individual foods and tastes.

FOOD COOK TIME

(in minutes)

Beef

Convection Cooking

(on some models)

In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air continually distributes heat more evenly than the natural movement of air in a standard thermal oven. This movement of hot air helps maintain a consistent temperature throughout the oven, cooking foods more evenly, crisping surfaces while sealing in moisture and yielding crustier breads.

Most foods can be cooked by lowering cooking temperatures 25°F to 50°F (14°C to 28°C), and cooking time can be shortened by as much as 30 percent, especially for large turkeys and roasts.

■ It is important not to cover foods with lids or aluminum foil so

that surface areas remain exposed to the circulating air, allowing browning and crisping.

■ Keep heat loss to a minimum by opening the oven door only

when necessary.

■ Choose cookie sheets without sides and roasting pans with

lower sides to allow air to move freely around the food.

■ Test baked goods for doneness a few minutes before the

minimum cooking time with a method such as using a toothpick.

Convection Bake

(on some models)

A. Convection element (hidden) and fan

The convection element is hidden in the rear panel of the oven cavity, and assisted by the convection fan, provides balanced, efficient heating.

Convection baking can be used for baking delicate cakes and pastries, as well as foods on multiple racks. It is helpful to stagger items on the racks to allow a more even flow of heat. If the oven is full, extra cooking time may be needed.

When cooking an oven meal with several different types of foods, be sure to select recipes that require similar temperatures. Cookware should sit in the oven with at least 1" (2.5 cm) of space between the cookware and the sides of the oven.

During convection baking preheat, the bake, broil and convection elements all heat the oven cavity. After preheat, the convection element and the bake element will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain oven temperature, while the fan constantly circulates the hot air.

If the oven door is opened during convection baking or preheating, the broil and convection element and fan will turn off immediately. They will come back on once the door is closed.

■ Reduce recipe temperature 25°F (14°C). The cook time may

need to be reduced also.

To Convection Bake:

Before convection baking, position racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When using 2 racks, place on guides 2 and 4. When using 3 racks, place on guides 1, 3 and 5.

1. Press CONVECT BAKE.

Press the number pads to enter a temperature other than 300°F (150°C). The convection bake range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (77°C and 260°C).

2. Press START.

“Lo°” will appear on the oven display if the actual oven temperature is under 170°F (77°C).

When the actual oven temperature reaches 170°F (77°C), the oven display will show the oven temperature increasing in 5° increments.

When the set temperature is reached, if on, 1 tone will sound.

3. Press OFF/CANCEL for the respective oven when finished

cooking.

To Convection Roast:

Before convection roasting, position racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. It is not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food in, unless recommended in the recipe.

For best results, it is recommended you use a roasting rack when roasting using Convect Roast. This allows air to circulate completely around all surfaces of the food. If you would to purchase a Broiler Pan/Roasting Rack Kit, it may be ordered. See “Assistance or Service” section to order. Ask for Part Number W10123240.

1. Press CONVECT ROAST.

Press the number pads to enter a temperature other than 300°F (150°C). The convection roast range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (77°C and 260°C).

2. Press START.

“Lo°” will appear on the oven display if the actual oven temperature is under 170°F (77°C).

When the actual oven temperature reaches 170°F (77°C), the oven display will show the oven temperature increasing in 5° increments.

When the set temperature is reached, if on, one tone will sound.

3. Press OFF/CANCEL for the respective oven when finished

cooking.
